How many mg of b12 should a 55 year old women take daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Micrograms: The daily requirement for B12 is only a few micrograms/day. In a person of your age 100 microgram/day would be more than enough. You may visit this site for information on this topic: http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/vitamin-b12/dosing/HRB-20060243 For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
